People love to have houses in MMOs. At worst, they are place to stash more of your stuff. At best, they are place to decorate and “play house”. Most of us fall somewhere in between… sticking a couple of pictures on the wall… but mostly using the storage slots.
So the question begs, to what degree would you like to decorate in TOR?
In SWG, for example, you could drop almost any item… weapons, clothing, whatever, as well as dedicated home decorations (chairs, etc), to make genuinely unique decoration styles wherever you wanted to place them. Displaying weapons on walls was very popular.
More modern MMOs have a similar concept and while it’s generally easier in the newer games to place things, not everything can be placed where you want it. For example, in LotRO, you can’t just drop some armour and make a display out of it in your home. In SWG, you could.
So without getting into a silly, “Duh, blur, just go and play SWG…” kind of conversation, I want you guys to comment: How important is home decoration? Do you love the concept of being able to display virtually anything, anywhere (SWG style), or would you rather have the game dictate what can be displayed, and where (LotRO style)? The choice is yours.
